Nutrition makes me think of Tolstoy's famous quote in reverse: every bad diet is the same, while every good diet is unique.
By that I mean that I have to be very careful with fruit and nuts - having them around the house means that I can mindlessly eat at least an entire extra meal worth calories a day, a handful at a time.
For me beans, lentils, and "veggies" more broadly are very helpful with appetite control though, I agree.. and are pretty easy to make unless you're on the go all the time.

- abrowne 5y agoAgreed, excepting grapes, as long as you are eating fruit itself, not fruit juice, pulp, puree or something else made from fruit.
- Remnant44 5y agoFruits are MUCH better than nuts thanks to their lower caloric density. but it's still easy to mindlessly eat hundreds of calories of fruit if you're not careful. Given that even a hundred calories of surplus a day will certainly make you fat over time... basically any mindless eating is dangerous, in my experience.
